Katsu sando is a Japanese sandwich that unites a crisp tonkatsu cutlet between soft white bread. It belongs to the yōshoku tradition of Western-inspired dishes.
The crustless, fluffy shokupan bread, a layer of sweet-savoury tonkatsu sauce and the juicy cutlet make it a beloved snack and travel bento.
